Welcome to the community folks

Will try to post news at first and then maybe look at match threads starting next season

    If we can get match threads and goals in here then that’s 80% of my reddit usage.

    Very nice, hope this takes off, my favorite subreddit was r/soccer hopefully PSGacademy migrates too so we can have some highlights 😭

      We could make a bot to scrape r/soccer and duplicate posts here, or use the free API, though im not 100% sure as I obv dont want to infringe on the rules in here. Happy to do so as a fuck you to reddit though.

        Yeah, I’ve been reposting some things I found on r/soccer but don’t know if we want to replicate the whole frontpage, maybe do highlights and game threads first and foremost?

          IMO, I think we get the most initial traction from content. Specifically, highlights and news. Once people realize there are other good social media aggregators, the match threads and etc will come on their own

      Would be fun, I’m just trying this place out to be honest and noticed there wasn’t a community for football! Who’s your team?

        I’m kind of a Sunderland fan (not from the UK, but liked them the most when I started following English football), mostly follow the Swedish national team otherwise 😊

            Yeah, sad with the injury keeping him from coming back full strength 🫤. Happy I grew up with a Swede at the absolute top of football tho!

    Ah good to see my favorite sub in here already. The only thing I miss already is the team flair

    Thanks for setting this up! Can’t beat a bit of football chat and with it being silly season, I’m sure there’s plenty to be had!

    Proud to be the first Scottish fan on this sub!

    My team’s Dunfermline Athletic, recently promoted to the second tier in Scotland and looking forward to the new season already.

    EDIT - sorry, “community”, not “sub”! I suspect that’s not the last time I’ll make that mistake.

      Congrats! I don’t know if there’s such a thing as flairs on here yet but once those come along I’ll see what we can do about it.

      Are you from Dunfermline?

        Flairs would be cool. Seeing all the different team and country FA crests (if that’s the right term) was one of my favorite aspects of /r/soccer
